Description
Johann Nepomuk Andreas Gebhardt, Czech/Austrian 1798-1871- Portrait of a lady, half-length, seated, wearing a red dress and a frilled bonnet; oil on canvas, signed and dated 'Johann And. Gebhardt gemalt / 1827' verso, 69.8 x 53.5 cm. Provenance: Property from a European Private Collection. Note: Gebhardt produced a number of stately portraits, depicting prosperous sitters in sumptuous clothing, and, for his female sitters, with elaborate headgear, like the diaphanous bonnet in the present work. A particularly striking aspect of the present work is the detail and delicacy with which the artist has painted the glimmering golden jewellery which adorns the sitter.
